   Of all the monsters of progressive rock, the only one that never reunited, except for this virtual reunion' 2020 below: 

As such, the only one with such minor lineup changes. 

The only one of all the monsters where only drummers changed. 

The only one with no songs lasting for longer than 10 minutes. 

The only one where the de facto leader was a Christian (from the beginning) and the rest of the core of the band - the Shulman brothers - were de jure Judaists. 

The most anti-antisemitic, pro-Jewish one - for... you've all witnessed the physique of Ray Shulman, I guess. And his fists... Whatever the band of the three Shulman brothers played or might have played, you could hardly say they flirted with nazism or denied Holocaust, OK? 

It is probably hard to see for many English-speaking people how the lyrics can be unintelligible, at all. Bob Dylan may be a great guy, but for the primarily Slavic speaker like me, it's music that matters in English-tongued rock. Gentle Giant were undoubtedly diverse. I do not care for the lyrics in their songs, to be frank. Just do not care, at all! It is sequences of sounds that amaze me. I prefer the ideal flow of one melody logically morphing into another as in As Old As You're Young, my forever favourite one.
